Is it ok to splurge 1 day a week? I tracked everything I ate.

    It depends on how much you splurge. 1 lbs=3500 kcal. If you have selected to lose 2lbs a week, then mfp has put you at a 1000kcal a day deficit to equal 7000kcal a week. If you splurge and eat those then you will lose less weight or gain depending on how bad the splurge is. In the beginning, you will have a lot more wiggle room to splurge because you have more weight to lose. The closer you get to your goal, the harder it is going to be and you won't be able to splurge.

    Hi @Kimma41 ! Yes, absolutely! Many people do better if they can indulge occasionally. You'll have to watch and see how much of a splurge you can accommodate and still keep your weight loss going at a rate that works for you.

    It's not that I went all out crazy binge eating. I just enjoyed myself. Ate all my calories. Now back to working it.
